After spending the evening at a casino, Christie Wilson, has gone missing from the Thunder Valley Casino in Roseville, Calif., near Sacramento. She was last seen in the company of a 52 year old man, who is considered a person of interest.

“It’s horrible, just horrible,” her mother, Debbie Boyd, said.

A police officer reports, “They met each other, went from table to table, walked out together to the parking lot.”

Police say surveillance cameras caught the two walking toward the man’s car. Detectives have located the 53-year-old married man, and say he’s a “person of interest,” after finding evidence in his vehicle.

At a press conference, police reported, “We did find items of forensic evidence that we’re taking to the lab.”

“My gut tells me keep focusing on that 53-year-old man,” Debbie Boyd told The Early Show. “He absolutely knows and has more detail, but he’s not, at this point, disclosing. He just becomes even that much more suspicious because he just clams up and doesn’t seem to be able to want to talk. Surveillance cameras don’t show her going anywhere else, but out the door with him.”
